Biophagus

While this model is leading a unit, melee weapons equipped by models in that unit have the [LETHAL HITS] ability.

Once per battle, when this model’s unit is selected to fight, this model can use this ability. If it does, until the end of the phase, improve the Attacks and Damage characteristics of its injector goad by 3.

This model can be attached to the following units: - ABERRANTS

• ACOLYTE HYBRIDS WITH AUTOPISTOLS
• ACOLYTE HYBRIDS WITH HANDFLAMERS
• HYBRID METAMORPHS
• NEOPHYTE HYBRIDS

You can attach this model to an ACOLYTE HYBRIDS or NEOPHYTE HYBRID unit, even if a PRIMUS, MAGUS, or ACOLYTE ICONWARD model has already been attached to it. If you do, and that Bodyguard unit is destroyed, the Leader units attached to it become separate units, with their original Starting Strengths.

Each time this unit makes an ingress move (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.  Designer’s Note:* Choosing to automatically wound the target means that no wound roll is made for that attack. You may decide against this, as it means that attack cannot result in a critical wound* and so cannot trigger other abilities such as [DEVASTATING WOUNDS].

Once per battle, when the bearer’s unit is selected to fight, the bearer can use its alchemicus familiar. If it does, until the end of the phase, each time a model in the bearer's unit makes an attack that targets an INFANTRY unit, add 1 to the Wound roll
